Philadelphia’s Asian American Film Festival

For quite some time, the only sure fire way for us Asians to get on the silver screen, was to have a black belt. Bruce, Jackie, and a wealth of other lesser known heroes brought their flying fists and roundhouse kicks to millions, and thus became the calling card for a generation. However, that time has come and gone, and breaking concrete with your bare hands is no longer considered a screen test. Over the years, from behind the lens or standing in front of it, the Asian community has found their place in American Cinema.

From October 9th – 11th, enjoy some movie screenings, engage in some Q & A, and celebrate the Asian experience in America. To learn more log on to the official website. There you’ll find screening locations, information about the films, and more.
